Changeable Weekend Weather Hits Germany

Successive Atlantic lows are keeping conditions unstable and raising the chance of stronger storms in parts of southern Bavaria.

Overview

  • The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) forecasts a changeable Saturday with clouds, intermittent sun and scattered showers or isolated thunderstorms developing from the afternoon into the evening.
  • Parts of southern Bavaria, especially Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden, face the highest convective risk with gusts up to about 60 km/h, short intense rainfall around 15 liters per square meter in an hour and a chance of small hail.
  • Daytime highs will be mild, generally about 19°C in upland areas and up to 24–25°C in warmer lowlands, so temperatures will feel pleasant between showers.
  • Sunday is expected to be calmer and often sunnier in many regions, but meteorologists warn that another low will follow and keep the overall pattern unsettled into early next week.
  • Outdoor plans are best scheduled for the morning because showers are most likely to form from the afternoon, which could affect events such as the Leipzig Stadtfest and local travel.
